Death-bringing dangers. David: 'The pangs of hell encircled me; the snares of death outran me.'[1] The pains of the mother before childbirth are called pangs. Therefore by this metaphor the calamities preparing to bring [one] near to death itself are called the 'pangs of hell.'[2]
Greek Original:
Ὠδῖνες θανάτου καὶ παγίδες: οἱ θανατηφόροι κίνδυνοι. Δαβίδ: ὠδῖνες ᾅδου περιεκύκλωσάν με: προέφθασάν με παγίδες θανάτου. Ὠδῖνες καλοῦνται αἱ πρὸ τοῦ τοκετοῦ τῆς τικτούσης ὀδύναι. τοιγαροῦν ἐκ τῆς μεταφορᾶς ταύτης ὠδῖνες ᾅδου προσαγορεύονται αἱ αὐτῷ προσπελάζειν τῷ θανάτῳ παρασκευάζουσαι συμφοραί.
